Goal

How to Find ESXi 5.x Host Driver Version Installed

Fix

There are multiple ways to accomplish this. First is by logging into the Fabric Director as user 'admin' and running the 'show physical-servers' command:

perf01 2c9030005f7d4 cslab-rum01:ServerPort19 VMware/ESX5.2.0.EAX1C.1/x86_64 2.7.0/3.0.0 perf01-rum

Another way is to login to the ESXi 5.0 host as user 'root' and executing this command:

# esxcli software vib list |grep xsvnic, xsigo, xsvhba or xscore

In the ESXi 5.x vm-support or xsigo-support logs go to the 'commands' folder:

-bash-3.2$ ls
action.log bootbank commands error.log errors-ignored.log etc json proc README reconstruction reconstruct.sh usr var vmfs

In the 'commands' directory grep the 'localcli_software-vib-get.txt' file for xsvnic or xsvhba:

-bash-3.2$ grep -i xsvnic localcli_software-vib-get.txt
VMware_bootbank_net-xsvnic_5.0.2.ESX.1-1vmw.500.0.0.406165:
   Name: net-xsvnic
   Summary: xsvnic: net driver for VMware ESX
   Provides: com.xsigo.xsvnic-9.2.0.0
